Reality star Kourtney Kardashian has said in a new interview that she gets frowned upon for her advocacy for attachment parenting.
“It’s what came naturally to me; I didn’t plan it. When I had Mason, I just felt really attached to him, and wanted to bring him everywhere,” she tells Redbook.
She added that the 4-year-old and his 19-month-old sister Penelope still sleep in her bed, adding:
“They go to sleep in their rooms, but end up in my bed – sometimes within minutes.”
Probed on where she picked up on the parenting method, Kourtney admitted she didn’t know –
“because I definitely didn’t sleep with my parents unless I was sick or something.”
She explained:
“I don’t know, it just kind of grew. I wasn’t reading attachment parenting books before. I think even with different kids, it’s different. Each kid needs something different.
“I’m sure all the family thinks I’m insane for having them in the bed and breastfeeding for a long time, but whatever.”
